Burning question please help!

I am trying to burn a wedding DVD and have done this many times before without problem. Now, I continuously get a media error at stage 4. I switched media, (was using a cheaper, printable brand) to use an apple disk...which worked once. I am trying to burn additional copies on apple disk's and we are now back to the media error. I have a few questions...I have 26 GB of memory available. Is this enough? Is this why I am having the media problem that I have not had before? I am not sure why I don't have more space as I have always had about 36 GB's available. I am desperately trying to find files to delete to give me more space, but am having no luck...and don't want to delete the wrong files. Any ideas on how to find what is taking so much space that I can get rid of? Thanks in advance for any help.

I suggest you get the free download Mac Sweeper which you will find on http://mac.softpedia.com/get/System-Utilities/Mac-Sweeper.shtml
Also try using the Easter Egg workaround to burn a disc image which can then be burnt to a DVD-R using Disk Utility.
It is also called "Hurz and Pfurz", and is available as a free download from
http://homepage.mac.com/geerlingguy/macsupport/mac_help/pages/0015-burn_idvdother.html
iDVD5 has this built in.
Now I would recommend the following steps but first make sure there is about 20GB free on the internal HD:
1) Shut down/Restart without any applications running.
2) Run Mac Sweeper carrying out all the optimize options including repair permissions and, under clean, empty caches.
3) Launch iDVD and the project
4) "Burn" a copy to disc to hard disc using the Easter Egg workaround.
5) Go to bed and have a good night's sleep.
6) When the run is finished (always for me 1 hour in less than 8 hours) examine the DVD image and play it using the DVD player in the applications folder
7) If and when satisfied and burn a copy using Disc Utility, full instructions on
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=42724
but you just use the second half to burn the DVD.
This approach means you can readily produce multiple copies. I have taken to burning the DVD without any other applications running as I think too much going on may cause bad spots on the disc.

Welcome to the Apple community.
If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

If your account is disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on your iPhone and iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Storeand then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on it.
For your security questions, if you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) on your account then the steps half-way down this page will give you a reset link on your account : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312
If you don't have a rescue email address then you will need to contact Support in your country to get the questions reset.
Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699 (you can also try this link if you can't get your account enabled via the above)
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 link above to add a rescue email address for potential future use

HT201363 Hello, I have my pass word, I have my Apple ID, but itunes think I am buying a song for the first time and is asking me 2 security questions, please help, what should i do?

I cannot remember the answeres to my security questions, please help.

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; this can be done by phoning AppleCare and asking for the Account Security team, or clicking here and picking a method, or if your country isn't listed in either article, filling out and submitting this form.
They wouldn't be security questions if they could be bypassed without Apple verifying your identity.

How to reset your Apple ID security questions.
Go to appleid.apple.com, click on the blue button that says 'Manage Your Apple ID'.
Log in with your Apple ID and password. (If you have forgotten your Apple ID password, go to iforgot.apple.com first to reset your password with a password recovery email)
Go to the Password & Security section on the left side, and click on the link underneath the security questions that says 'Forgot your answers? Send reset security info email to [email]'.
This will generate an automated e-mail that will allow you to reset your security questions.
If that doesn't work, or there is no rescue email link available, then click on 'Temporary Support PIN' that is in the bottom left side, and generate a 4-digit PIN for the Apple Account Security Advisor you will be contacting later.
Next, go to https://getsupport.apple.com
(If you see a message that says 'There are no products registered to this Apple ID, simply click on 'See all products and services')
Choose 'More Products & Services', then 'Apple ID'.
A new page will open.
Choose 'Other Apple ID Topics', then 'Forgotten Apple ID Security Questions'.
Click the blue 'Continue' button.
Select the contact option that suits your needs best.

Hey annamyle91,
Thanks for the question. If you are having issues with the security questions associated with your Apple ID, follow these steps:
If you forgot the answers to your Apple ID security questions
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6170
Reset your security questions
1. Go to My Apple ID (appleid.apple.com).
2. Select “Manage your Apple ID” and sign in.
3. Select “Password and Security” on the left side of the page.
4. If you have only one security question, you can change the question and answer now.
5. If you have more than one security question:
          - Select “Send reset security info email to [your rescue email address].” If you don't see this link or don't have access to your rescue address, contact Apple Support as described in the next section.
          - Your rescue address will receive a reset email from Apple. Follow its instructions to reset your security questions and set up new questions and answers.Didn't receive the email?
After resetting your security questions, consider turning on two-step verification. With two-step verification, you don't need security questions to secure your account or verify your identity.
If you can't reset your security questions
Contact Apple Support in either of these circumstances:
          - You don't see the link to send a reset email, which means you don't have arescue address.
          - You see the link to send a reset email, but you don't have access to email at the rescue address.
A temporary support PIN isn't usually required, but Apple may ask you to generate a PIN if your identity needs to be verified.
Thanks,
Matt M.

You might try to see if you can change your security questions. Start here, change your country if necessary and go tomanage your account > Password and Security.
I'm able to do this, others say they need to input answers to their current security questions in order to make changes, I'm inclined to think its worth a try, you don't have anything to lose.
If that doesn't help you might try contacting Apple through Express Lane (select your country, navigate to iCloud help and enter the serial number of one of your devices)

Hi habibaljalil,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
The article linked below provides the available options for resetting your security questions.

If you can't reset your security questions
Contact Apple Support in either of these circumstances:
You don't see the link to send a reset email, which means you don't have a rescue address.
You see the link to send a reset email, but you don't have access to email at the rescue address.
A temporary support PIN isn't usually required, but Apple may ask you to generate a PIN if your identity needs to be verified.
I hope this helps.
